Corsi falls ill after Kenya caper
Red Alert temporarily postponed until author's recovery from traumatic abduction

Jerome Corsi, WND senior staff reporter and editor of Red Alert, has fallen ill after he was forced to endure detention at the hands of armed Kenyan immigration authorities.

WND founder and editor Joseph Farah said Corsi has arrived at his home in the United States and is now under care of a physician because he is very sick.

"Corsi is still recovering from his traumatic abduction at the hands of Kenya security officials who halted his planned press conference in Nairobi and denied him and his party food for an entire day before allowing them to depart for London," Farah said.

The situation developed last Tuesday just as Corsi, who had been in Kenya for several days, was preparing for a morning news conference to announce the results of his investigation about Barack Obama's controversial ties in the African nation. The investigation also targeted Raila Odinga, a Kenyan political leader who has claimed he is Obama's first cousin.

Corsi was approached by immigration officials and taken to their office under the guard of soldiers with automatic weapons. Corsi made a quick contact with Farah, but then Kenyan authorities confiscated his passport and cell phone and held him as if he were suspected of a crime.

21. Funny, he was well enough to do an interview on Dennis Miller's radio show last week.
Republicans are such whiny drama kings.

4. Wow! You'd think he was
some kind of draft-dodging treasonous bastard!

Oh, wait....

He's probably just suffering from the eastern version of West-African Asshole. A common enough parasitic disease. Which would be ironic really.

5. Kenya "caper"?
"Forced to endure detention"? Was it as much fun as Gitmo? Abu Ghraib? Any chance he will develop a shred of fellow feeling for other detainees?

6. I've seen Corsi
I don't think going without food for a day would do him any harm.

Wuss.

13. Wow, detained under suspicion and denied food for a whole day!!
Same happens to a lot of legitimate visitors at the hands of OUR immigration authorities because of people like Corsi.

Not so fun when you're on the receiving end of such treatment is it, Corsi, you fascist putz?

18. I heard he was detained because he was in Kenya on a tourist visa and he should have had a business
visa since he was technically working. You can't do that in the U.S. Why should Kenya be expected to allow it?

20. Probably caught the clap from a Nairobi hooker. Lots of them around to assist losers like Corsi in
feeling like a man.
